Maybe you've come across this tip before.. Submerging in IPA and letting the board drip dry is a great way to help dry things out after submerging boards in water, brilliant to stop water getting trapped in places where they may not dry out as quickly as you would like them to (chip sockets etc). Obviously there's a fire risk of a big bloody tub of IPA in the house along with the fumes, on top of this it can be difficult to see the flame when it's burning so maybe best to do outside 😁😁 Loving the series, keep 'em coming!
Hi, Lee. Got a suggestion for the first machine. It looks like bit errors in the color RAM. You lucked out here. In later models, the color RAM was integrated into the super PLA. On that 250469 you've got, it's still a discrete 2114 at U19. I'd try replacing that. Good luck with the rest of the pile!
@@watchmakerful It could be, but I don't think the color RAM tests are any more reliable than the system RAM tests, especially when detecting subtle bit errors. The color RAM is easier to replace and, obviously, far less expensive than a VIC-II, so I'd go there first.
Cheers Todd. The two that I have not fixed will be going back on the bench at the end of the series. I might just add those on in this channel or if they are interesting make a main channel video. Making notes!
Pleasure meeting you too (and Rees) :)

I didnt mention it in the video, but before I blasted it with compressed air I hosed it down with IPA :D
Loving the shelves in the background!
Im really please with how theyve turned out. At the moment just a load of random machines up there. Will sort something better to look at out soon

Diagnostics shows Color RAM OK. Isn't this VIC-2?

Never seen a shortboard C64.
Rees have me one of his Famicoms. I hope he was more gentle with you.
I bought one of Rees' Famicoms. I promise I wasn't the bad experience!
I bet you were a nightmare! :D
Yeeeeeet
So satisfying :D
Tengo el mismo modelo, le falta el soporte teclado y tiene oantalla negra🤔😥
Cant help you with the black screen but the keyboard supports are available on Thingiverse to 3d print
